This line is not important for now, I will gladly let you know how to fix it when you get to the voicemail part, it is just Blink asking Asterisk if this account has pending voice messages (how cool huh!!??)

Now, you are saying that from Blink phones you are dialing *43? If so, I don't think that is going to work based on the dialplan chunk shown here, the only 2 extensions listed are 1001 and 1002 within the context LocalSets. If you wish to ring extension 1002 from 1001, try this:

Poor audio quality is one of the top reasons people don’t use video conferencing. Get the crispest, clearest audio powered by Dolby Voice in every meeting. Highfive and Dolby Voice deliver the best video conferencing and audio experience for every meeting and every room.

Yeah thanks. :) I have version 11.8 installed now but I think the ATDG book has version 11.3 installed.

I just followed the book and downloaded the program from source using wget. The only problem I encountered was that Debian Wheezy didn't have a C++ compiler pre-installed. So I installed g++ package via aptitude before running the ./configure command and everything went smoothly from then on.

One question I did have regarding the ATDG book was that it added asteriskpbx user to the wheels group in sudo like so on page 44.

Why would you do that? Wouldn't you create a more sensible group, say phonebox, and add the asteriskpbx user to there instead? Or am I missing the point and by adding to the wheel group it would increase security because that means it would be harder to guess the group that the asteriskpbx user is in?

Those steps are meant for the asterisk process to be run as a non-root user. So they change the ownership of the /etc/asterisk folder among other steps to let that user open all necessary files and modules.

My asterisk box at home is also Debian based. Well, its a LinuxMint box to be honest, running as a server =S , so its Ubuntu really
